John Lennon, Steve Jobs and more to be featured on US stamps

During the next few years the U.S. Postal Service will be releasing several pop culture-related stamps featuring icons like John Lennon, Steve Jobs and even Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, the Washington Post is reporting.

None of the stamp designs have been released yet, that way USPS can create a buzz when it's time for the stamps to become available to the public.

Many of the to-be-featured icons were suggested by the public, and a USPS official told The Post that anyone can leave suggestions on the organization's Facebook page.

Aside from pop and music icons, the series will also feature celebrity chefs, hip-hop artists, hot rods and video games.

The new contemporary stamps are meant to appeal to younger collectors, but some traditionalists are scoffing at the idea. Namely, John Lennon violates the rule that only Americans appear on stamps.

We've put together the above gallery listing some of the famous figures getting the postal treatment. That same gallery is available here for mobile users. Just note that USPS may change this list at any time.
